Love planet Venus has been in peaceful, balanced Libra since October 28, but I have to admit I hardly noticed. Frankly, my own love life has been more of a struggle for peace and balance since then, and I’m pretty sure it’s because Mercury has been retrograde and the Sun and Mercury are both in Scorpio.

That cosmic energy has brought confusion and mistrust to my life, and I don’t think the positive energy from love planet Venus’ transit through Libra has been strong enough to cut through the negative influence of those other energies.

I have been feeling confused for sure. I’ve been feeling underappreciated and a little neglected by my man, and I’ve been less patient with his busy schedule. I’ve grown frustrated with the fact that he doesn’t go out of his way to make more time for me, and that he isn’t a very romantic guy.

Mind you, these are things I typically don’t sweat because I do know how much he cares and how hard he tries. But all this Scorpio energy has made me mistrust my gut and ask myself, really? Does he really care? Because he sure doesn’t always show it. And that makes me question if this is really enough for me.

I don’t know what to do, so I’ve been waiting it out until the Sun and Mercury move out of Scorpio and Mercury goes Direct.

But now there’s another problem: Love planet Venus is moving into Scorpio tomorrow, and that usually puts pressure on relationships. Scorpio is intense, and with Venus in that position it makes people want to dig deep and get to the truth things.

Obviously you can see why that worries me. Can you imagine what could happen over Thanksgiving dinner? I’ll be like, “Hey, can you pass the mashed potatoes. Oh, and by the way, do you really love me?”

I think what my relationship needs right now is less digging, actually. I need to relax and stop putting so much pressure on it, because I think everything is truly fine and it’s just the Scorpio energy messing with my mind.

That’s my take, at least.

The good news is that the Sun moves into Sagittarius tomorrow, too, so the overall mood should lighten a bit. And perhaps I won’t succumb to Venus in Scorpio’s pressure to figure out my love life RIGHT NOW. I hope so, cross my heart.
